Frankfurt-based Deck 13 is working on a game called Ankh: The Tales of Mystery, a third-person comedy point & click adventure set in ancient Egypt. Adventure Archiv has published a preview that is based on a prototype version of the game, saying it has "heart-warming humour" and has an easy to use interface.

Interestingly, the article mentions a cooperation deal that Deck 13 signed with Telltale Games, the team of former LucasArts designers that is currently working on Bone. It presumably puts Telltale in some sort of advisory role for the project.

Since no official announcement has been made, Telltale was not able to comment much. CEO Dan Connors did confirm to us that "[Telltale] has been reviewing the game for Deck 13 and it looks great. It's really funny."

A website for the game will be opened soon. According to the Deck 13 website, more information can also be expected at the German Games Convention that is held in Leipzig in August.
